The king (the official term used in the constitution, even though all monarchs since 1890 have been female.)

Has this merely been a result of coincidence?  No male children born to the Dutch Royal Family, or the eldest has always been a daughter?  Or, something quirky about those very lovable Dutch people?

It has been a coincidence. No secret matriarchical plans there ;) The next monarch will be a king (Willem Alexander).
